Yes, not officially treason.

Do you remember Reality Winner? She was just trying to expose espionage; her reward: 5yrs in federal prison.

Eloon has hurt U.S. efforts in Ukraine, has he not?

WOW!!!

I would be so, so proud of Tennessee if they elected her. But hell, that state, my birth state, didn't even vote for their son, Al Gore!

NEVER GO TO BALI - DOGS are eaten there. 😩😱

I've posted about this:

Dog Meat Is Showing up on More Menus Across Bali
https://theculturetrip.com/asia/indonesia/articles/dog-meat-is-showing-up-on-more-menus-across-bali

According to research from BAWA, 70,000 dogs are slaughtered each year in Bali for the dog meat trade while 100 percent of those captured are killed.

And an original...

Apparently there are many roads to alcoholism; some come from deep sadness, some from extreme stress, and others from plain spoiled, over-indulgent stupidity.
Glad Jimmy dug his way out.

He was a genuinely good person.

I'm sorry some disagreed or was offended by his lyrics.

I agree.

Too many conservatives think too much touch is always sexual in nature, especially adult to adult. My mother's parents were like that. Once I became an adult, they never hugged me or any of their children. They were just extremely prudish.

Interesting new dimension

I visited this cathedral in Strasbourg 3 decades ago, during the day - these night views are most interesting in that they seem to enlarge the cathedral's size even more! On the other hand, it could just be my fading memory.

Thanks for posting these, Old Crank.

We've known microwaving food in PLASTICS is harmful

More confirmation....

Plastics are bad for us and microwaving food in plastic containers is a "hell-no." Even if it says "microwave SAFE."

Microwaving 'Safe' Plastics Can Release Billions of Particles, Scientists Warn.

A team from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in the US ran experiments using baby food containers made from polypropylene and polyethylene, which are both approved as safe to use by the regulators at the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Microwaving water or dairy products inside polypropylene or polyethylene products is likely to deliver the highest relative concentrations of plastic, the researchers revealed. Particles were also released when food and drinks were refrigerated and stored at room temperature, but significantly fewer in number.

I'm going to be more careful.

When wealth is passed off as merit....

"When wealth is passed off as merit, bad luck is seen as bad character. This is how ideologues justify punishing the sick and the poor.

But poverty is neither a crime nor a character flaw. Stigmatize those who let people die, not those who struggle to live."

Gross stupidity

If they weren't so stupid, they'd not be so easily blinded.


(There are monuments/buildings in every town devoted to such ignorance.)
